Well both are populists in their approach and expressed similar goals. The concrete actions Trump has identified so far are a good deal more out of a traditional conservative playbook than what Bernie proposed, but they do indeed have something in common.
To an interesting extent both of them were, in effect, Third Party candidates. One central result of this year's election was that all of the political establishment candidates of both parties were rejected.
